Secondhand Lions
Very Good 66 Points 2003

Great-uncles lead to great adventure for a boy in need of a loving home. Some have put down this movie as sentimental and bland, but I found it wry and satisfying. Especially for boys and men, the resonance runs deep. Come to think of it, it would be the perfect movie to watch on Father’s Day,…

The Red Balloon
Really Great 66 Points 1956

A boy and his pet balloon amble through vivacious Parisian streets in this perfect childhood confection. Just over half-an-hour long, Le Ballon Rouge won more awards than you can hold in two hands and deserves to be a preschool favorite for every girl and boy to this day.

Just when you thin…

Barely OK 66 Points 2013

More wimpy than wicked, Oz the Great and Powerful unleashes plenty of sound and fury, signifying nothing more than a reminder that real movie magic doesn’t come from FX. It comes from charm and wit. IOW, this huge production seeks to recreate the timeless magic of The Wizard of Oz….

WALL·E
Good 29 Points 2008

Cute Pixar movie. You definitely found yourself identifying with the Wall-E as a human like character, and the adventure with the female bot Eve on a quest to return humans to the planet was a fairly engaging story. Amazing animation and decent action, but my daughter and I found ourselves bored…

The Karate Kid
OK 23 Points 2010

Should you really re-make a classic like ‘Karate Kid’? Well, I suppose we can make an exception for Jackie Chan, despite the over promotion of Will Smith’s son Jaden. Still, I hate the idea that kids seeing this movie may never experience the original. Nothing terribly memorable, but a f…

Nim's Island
Great 20 Points 2008

A great feel-good movie that is perfect for kids and young families. This movie creates a very effective blend of fantasy and reality amidst a unique setting that intriguing and very special. Of course, there is the prerequisite bad-guys, scary adventure, rescue, etc. – but nothing too sinister o…

Great 20 Points 2010

How to Train Your Dragon deserves to be considered along side the Toy Story, Cars, and other animated family greats. And for those of you who remember Asterix and Obelix – this movie will bring up memories of that that old-school Teutonic humor infused with a lighter look at dragon slaying. Fina…

Very Good 19 Points 2009

Really fun movie. The girlfriend and I saw this movie a few nights ago, and while we weren’t peeing ourselves from laughing extremely hard, we did get many laughs and giggles out of the film. The characters work well together, though I have to admit that I wanted Insectosaurus to die die die di…

Fly Away Home
Good 17 Points 1996

A cute and entertaining movie your kids will enjoy. Tells a tale of a daughter who loses her mom in an accident, moves in with dad in the Candian country, and adopts a flock of geese who also don’t have “a mom” to show them the way south for the winter. I am an aviation enthusiast, so enjoyed the…

Camp Rock
Very Good 17 Points 2008

The Jonas Brothers(focasing on Joe Jonas) stared in this movie about a camp in witch kids showed their talent in dancing, singing, and music producing. A clear Disney movie. Although adults may like this movie, kids would enjoy it most. (Review by Katherine)
